Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Surfside

My experience was so incredible here at Morton’s! I came to celebrate my boyfriend’s 25th birthday and our server made our experience so special. He was very attentive, made thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel like VIPs. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to drink but knew I wanted a martini to start and a glass of wine with dinner- our waiter made me the most delicious passionfruit martini just to meet the flavor profile I was looking for (as it wasn’t on the menu). He also recommended the bacon wrapped scallops which were so delicious, a must try. For dinner we both had the fillet minion cooked perfectly medium rare- serious applause to the chef. The ambiance was romantic and classy, and since it’s December and close to Christmas, the tree and lights were up which really added such a beautiful touch. Lastly, to really put the cherry on top, our wonderful waiter treated us with a delicious chocolate molten lava cake with vanilla ice cream and raspberries (mouthwatering, another must try), and then he even took our photo for us, printed it and put it in a frame that said happy birthday inside! SO SPECIAL! Thank you “Nebraska”, we can’t wait to see you again and are so grateful for the beautiful experience and memory you gave us!

We had a lovely night. The ambience was beautiful and the food was good. The service was good but it wasn’t on the level that a restaurant of this quality and price range should have. It wasn’t unfriendly, but it was impersonal, quick and pedestrian. Starting with the hostess, all through the service you didn’t feel Pampered and spoiled. You just felt like another customer in a busy place without the friendly personal touch. This would make me think twice about coming back or recommending the place to high end friends. My friends who are used to personal top class service, not chain restaurant feel. Otherwise we loved our night.

I am usually not fond of dining in large groups. But because Claudia was so attentive, responsive and professional, I felt as if though she was there just for me. Not surprised when the other guest shared how wonderful their experience was also because of Claudia’s etiquette. It’s almost as if she could read our minds. Not once did we have to look up and around and ask our chef to get our server to refresh our drink or fill our water.

Lovely atmosphere!! Great food presentation…solid service !!!

Have been here a few times when visiting our son t Barry University, fun, cool vibe, food is so delicious. My husband & I shared the 16 oz ribeye, with a salad. Delicious! Had the dirty artichoke appetizer & it was delightful. Wine was great as well. Definitely recommend!
